Yesterday, we had the privilege of participating in a one-day Youth Engagement on Digital and Environmental Sustainability for a Green Economy.
Organized by the Ministry of Environment, under the leadership of Dr. Iniobong Abiola-Awe, Director of the Department of Climate, this event was held in collaboration with the European Union (
@EUinNigeria ) and AREAi’s Center for Digital Development and Innovation Research (CDDIR).
The forum brought together key stakeholders, partners, specialists, and passionate young people working strategically to promote digital sustainability for a greener future.
Goodwill messages were shared by representatives from the Ministry of Youth Development; Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy, The Presidency, the National Council on Climate Change, and CDDIR.
On behalf of our Global Director, Prince Gideon Olanrewaju (
@LanreShaper ), Omoniyi Lawson (
@filiuslaw ), Managing Partner of CDDIR, emphasized the vital role young people play in driving sustainable change.
The panel, breakout and pitch sessions were incredibly insightful. Along with addressing challenges, participants discussed inclusive, practical and scalable solutions to adopt innovative technologies and tools that aid in tracking, usage, impact, and engagement for climate change.
Additionally, these sessions explored sustainable business models and legal frameworks that not only foster advocacy, policy development, but also digital transformation, and innovative practices for a sustainable green economy.
We are truly excited about the positive outcomes that will emerge from this engagement.
